How to get started investing or trading in stocks

Most
times, the stock market looks like a confusing maze of numbers and symbols that
make no sense at all. If you are like me, then making the first step towards
reaping the benefits offered by this market seems like a daunting task that you
would like broken down for you to make sense of it. Fortunately, there isa lot of information online and in stock
related magazines that you can read to give you an idea of what to expect when trading.
At one time, I was as inexperienced as
you and had no idea where to put my money so that I could succeed in stock
trading. Therefore, if I could give any advice to beginners in trading stocks,
it would be as below.

First,
you need to have a basic idea of how the stock market works and the stocks that
are available for you to trade with. Many first time investors have lostbig chunk of their money at their initial
investment because of lack of knowledge of the market. At this point, I must
say that investing in the stock market is quite risky especially when dealing
with penny stocks, which are basically unregulated when compared with other
types of stocks. It is important to learn the art of buying the right stocks,
avoiding scams, minimizing risks as well as maximizing the chances of making
great gains.

Secondly,
trading stocks can only be done through a trading account which can be easily
set up on the internet. In my early years, I decided to open and manage my own
trading account which proved to be much more affordable than hiring a broker .
I would advise you to do the same if you do not have much money but are excited
about getting started. Nevertheless, working with a brokerage company has its
advantages as well which may include incentives and allows you to be flexible
with your trading options as well. Also, the company offering the services
should be reputable to avoid being scammed which is common with penny stocks
trading.

Thirdly,
consider investing in penny stocks if you are looking to earn some revenue in
the short term. When trading on these stocks, you will likely find them
described as very risky, but if the risk is worth it, then why not invest?Most times, they are much cheaper compared to
the blue-chip stocks that have been traded for a number of years. If you want
to reduce chances of losing money with penny stocks, you can work with a broker
that can guide you to make better decisions. Nevertheless, I believe these
stocks are your ticket to profitable gain in the stock market.

All
in all, stock trading is best learnt through experience as the circumstances
surrounding everyone is quite unique regardless of the information you have in
hand. Over time, you will be able to trade penny
stocks successfully, almost with your eyes closed and even offer advice on
various online discussions forums on the topic.
